The ability to learn faster than others even when learning the same thing comes from literacy!
Develop literacy, a core skill for successful students.

Why do children struggle with schoolwork? It's because they lack literacy.
Korean language texts are becoming longer and questions in all subjects are presented in increasingly longer texts.
Top-tier children who did quite well in elementary school all say the same thing when they reach middle and high school.
“I can’t solve the problem because I can’t read it.” The author says that one must have Korean language skills, especially literacy, which is the ability to read, understand, and express oneself, in order to read a given text and study well.
This is not limited to the Korean language subject.
The same goes for math, English, social studies, science, and history.
If you don't understand the vocabulary and content in the textbook for each subject, you will inevitably have difficulty studying.
This book explains why literacy is necessary to foster a child's academic aptitude, how to develop literacy, and how to guide children at home to develop their Korean language skills.
Fostering literacy from an early age makes studying fun and improves children's grades and self-esteem.
This book, which contains 'How to Raise Children's Literacy' by author Jin Dong-seop, a former Seoul National University admissions officer and high school Korean language teacher with over 30 years of experience, will be a good guide to killing two birds with one stone: raising children's self-esteem and academic performance.

Literacy refers to the ability to use written text freely.
Literacy is the ability to quickly read and understand everything written, express your thoughts well both verbally and in writing, create good documents, write a one-page proposal to close a deal, and present this document as a presentation. Being able to demonstrate your abilities in all aspects of written communication is what it means to have literacy.
Literacy is an essential skill in almost all occupations and entrepreneurship fields.
Literacy not only serves as a passport to college admissions, but is also an important skill for social life.
Therefore, literacy is considered the most important value to be cultivated during elementary, middle, and high school.

The most basic skill in studying Korean is literacy.
So every semester begins with reading instruction.
We teach book selection strategies, book reading strategies, and post-reading activity strategies appropriate to each grade level.
The reason why reading is necessary is self-evident, and this ability is developed in the Korean language.
In other words, Korean is the foundation of all subjects, so if you can't learn Korean, you can't study other subjects.
Furthermore, studying the Korean language does not stop at simply reading letters and accepting the content, but rather helps students successfully navigate social life through training in using the language critically and creatively.

There is one thing you must remember when developing literacy.
Science and social studies textbooks contain many concepts, and you must memorize all the vocabulary for those concepts.
Science books are filled with a balanced mix of basic knowledge in physics, life science, chemistry, and earth science, and are filled with words that represent that knowledge and words that describe new things.
However, if you only focus on Korean, English, and math during this period, your child will begin to lose background knowledge.
The opposite situation is also problematic.
If you neglect Korean, English, and math, you will have a lot of common sense, but you will not be able to adapt to more difficult situations, so you will have a hard time as you move on to higher grades.

To study, you need to be able to read a book of about 500 pages and summarize its contents.
This is the goal.
You also need to read a book that has consistent content on one topic.
The phrase 'I have to read' may give the impression of being forced to read out of a sense of duty, but it should be understood more as meaning that you are challenging yourself to read and master it.

Literacy is the ability to communicate through writing and speaking.
So, not only information input and judgment, but also output is important.
Output is speaking and writing.
Speaking, from the speaker's perspective, is divided into one-to-one speaking and one-to-many speaking.
However, in ordinary conversations, not lectures, deviations from the topic often occur.
(…) However, since writing is generally focused on the topic, the story is more complete.
During school days, there are various writing events and awards.
Don't Use Awards to Advance to Higher Schools While many competitions are disappearing, there are still plenty of writing contests where students can participate and gain recognition for their writing skills.
Even if there is no award-winning contest, a single word of praise for demonstrating excellent writing skills can help students maintain and develop their writing habits.
Praise makes whales dance.

The factors that universities determine to select students are called admissions factors.
The college entrance exam elements are three: school records, the CSAT, and the essay.
The CSAT will remain in its current form until the 2027 college entrance exam, and essay-type questions may be introduced starting from the 2028 college entrance exam.
In terms of writing, there will be attempts to select students for the writing section in some way.
Now, whether it is the CSAT or the essay-based admissions process, you cannot get good grades without literacy skills.

In the future, we will become a lifelong learning society, so we may have to study again at university at age forty, once more at age sixty, and perhaps even again at age eighty.
To further study, literacy is necessary, but without literacy, one cannot achieve the goal of 'continuously developing one's life and completing the second and third acts of life'.
I cannot be happy if I am the only one living in the past due to lack of literacy while others live in the present.
Nowadays, even people living in the mountains can post on social media to express themselves and obtain various information online.
No one knows how much the world will change.
Literacy is essential to living in this present world.
